Chapter 469 The Wonderful Uses of Water Spinach



After playing with Da Huang for a while, Lu Yuan went to the pool.

The pool is now basically divided into two parts: one part is reserved for the giant beasts, and the other part is used to raise fish, shrimp, and some aquatic plants.

Fortunately, the behemoth has been behaving itself during this period and hasn't eaten much. More importantly, its diet now mainly consists of golden fruits, and it doesn't eat much of anything else. Moreover, after this period of time, the behemoth's body seems to have returned to its previous state.

Of course, apart from the blind eye, there are no major problems. More importantly, its body has begun to shrink over time.

After glancing at the giant beast, he casually tossed it a few more golden fruits.

The little seedlings can no longer be called little seedlings. After four years of growth, they have grown to more than ten meters tall, rivaling other fruit trees.

The vines were laden with all sorts of golden fruits. Lu Yuan calculated the time and counted the golden fruits he had just harvested.

"It seems the golden fruits are growing faster now! They're producing about a dozen a day! I never expected to see this!"

They picked hundreds of golden fruits and filled more than a dozen bamboo baskets.

Lu Yuan took some and left them outside because he had an important task to do today: to find a fundamental way to prevent soil erosion.

I turned on my computer, which contained books about planting and plants that I had previously downloaded from various websites for a fee.

Now he wants to find a species that grows quickly, prevents soil erosion, and, more importantly, has excellent water absorption.

"Aquatic plants can be ruled out. Many areas are not yet flooded, and aquatic plants need to grow in water. It hasn't rained yet, so it's not suitable!"

Let's continue reading.

"Terrestrial plants, especially large woody plants, won't work; their growth cycle is too slow, and they're not suitable for planting! It seems that only some terrestrial plants with long roots and stems are suitable! They can both stabilize the soil and absorb water..."

So Lu Yuan began to eliminate plants from the list.

Soon, Lu Yuan found a plant that was very suitable.

"Water spinach! In some places it's called 'vine spinach.' It's mainly grown in moist soil. When the soil moisture content increases, it can store water using its hollow stems. More importantly, this plant grows very quickly and is edible!"

After reading the information, Lu Yuan was immediately delighted.

"Great! There's no better plant than this! It's a win-win situation!"

However, Lu Yuan looked around at the plants and searched for a long time but could not find this kind of water spinach.

"Oh right! I bought a lot of seeds before to prevent all the plants from being used up, so there should have been water spinach seeds among them!"

So Lu Yuan quickly ran to the seed area inside the cabin.

Now that the cabin is very spacious, almost like a huge factory, Lu Yuan has divided it into many areas.

First is the fresh food section, which mainly stores meat that has already been slaughtered and processed. Due to the special nature of the dimensional space, the food here will not spoil even if it is left for a long time! Therefore, Lu Yuan did not prepare any freezers here, but simply hung all the meat up.

However, the growth rate of pigs, cattle and sheep is too fast, so Lu Yuan basically works as a butcher whenever he has free time, slaughtering a large number of livestock and poultry each time in order to control their numbers.

Generally speaking, in order to prevent any accidents, Lu Yuan would store tens of tons of various meats in the fresh food section for unforeseen circumstances.

Next to the fresh food section is the area for storing rice, flour, cooking oil, and various condiments. The staple food section and the fresh food section basically occupy half of the space in the cabin and are also the places with the largest storage capacity. Even if Lu Yuan only uses the food in these areas, it can last for many years.

Besides the fresh produce and grain sections, the rest of the area is filled with miscellaneous items. Lu Yuan doesn't store too many fruits and vegetables; they are usually picked directly from the trees to ensure both good taste and prevent waste.

Although the plants are growing very fast now, with the consumption of various poultry and livestock, there is basically not much food wasted here in Lu Yuan.

Arriving at the miscellaneous items area, Lu Yuan rummaged around for a while and sure enough found a whole box of water spinach seeds.

Of course, these vegetable seeds were not mutated seeds, but rather unopened ones that Lu Yuan had bought before. At the time, Lu Yuan was worried that there wouldn't be enough food in the future, so he bought almost every kind of vegetable and fruit seed. Even if he couldn't find some, he spent a lot of money to order them online.

Lu Yuan grabbed two packets of water spinach seeds, scooped some water from the pond, found an open space, turned over the soil slightly, sowed the seeds, and began to patiently wait.

Lu Yuan jotted down the time, added a little water to the ground, and then quietly squatted down to the side.

Like a well-behaved child, Da Huang stayed by Lu Yuan's side, tilting its head and staring at the land.

Before long, several small mounds were lifted from the moist soil, and then several seedlings emerged. Then, as if they had been dormant for a long time, the seedlings stretched and began to grow upwards.
